Abstract
As a century-old classical reaction, Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis is undergoing new developments especially in its applications of producing jet fuel, olefins, aromatics and oxygenated chemicals, which are completely different from the conventional F-T product, gasoline, diesel and wax. Producing above new products is not obeying famous ASF distribution law, requiring revolutionary design of new F-T catalysts and reaction pathways. A mass of new research directions on F-T synthesis for these liquid fuels and high-value chemicals are successfully proposed. This review spotlights recent new advances based on F-T synthesis for non-automotive applications, and discusses its new possible directions in future.
